The Adept

Warrior . . . Doctor . . . Knight . . . Detective
Defender of the Light

He is Sir Adam Sinclair: nobleman, physician, scholar€“and an Adept. A man of great learning and power, he practices arcane ancient arts unknown to the modern world.

He has had many names and has lived many lives, but his mission remains the same: to protect the Light of the world from those metaphysical criminals who prowl the Dark Road.

Now his beloved Scotland is defiled by a ruthless cult of black magicians who will commit any atrocity, from murder both physicical and spiritual to enslaving the dead, to achieve their evil ends.

Only one man can stand against them . . .
